  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What have you understood about the charcater of The Ten Commandments?? (2)

I know for a fact and it is still observe to this day that: Friday is the preparation day. The bible said Jesus was Crucified laid in the tomb and that the next day was Sabbath. You have a problem with that, that is your business. I don't.

Elder 111, any day before a sabbath is a preparation day!

that goes for annual sabbaths also.


John 19:31(NKJV)
31Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

the scripture tells us that this particular sabbath was a high day sabbath, which means it was not the weekly sabbath.

read ex 12, where God institutes the day of passover and the feast of unleavened bread. so the preparation day before the feast of unleavened bread would be the passover.

notice that He instituted the passover and then the feast.

of the feast He said:


Exodus 12:16(NKJV)
16On the first day there shall be a holy convocation (sabbath), and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation (again, sabbath) for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat—that only may be prepared by you.

these sabbaths are "high days" - why?

Exodus 12:17(NKJV)
17So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.

Exodus 13:9(NKJV)
9It shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the Lord’S law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt.

they understood that the "Hand" that led them from egypt came from upon high.

a high hand did this, hence, high day sabbath!

The Bible gives us a dispassionate witness that doesn't have a vested interest in what we can see. Emotions are a human trait Scripture doesn't share in.
The New Moon calendar always starts on the Sabbath the 7th day of the week.
No. The weekly and New Moon cycles are independent, as are the annual that are dependent on the barley harvest. This is a distraction that isn't germane to the Gospel accounts that you're confronted with anyway.

It has been so long that I ventured on this topic that I assumed it was directly given in the Law - but that isn't the case. It became practice for the month to start with the new moon, and it appears that this came about by linguistic allusion from the Hebrew hodesh. The Karaite Corner website has a page where they explore this, and it might be of interest to you. If not, a casual search using 'Hebrew Biblical months' will provide enough hits to satiate your curiosity.

At what point did the New Covenant begin and the Old Covenant cease? Redemption is complete upon victory over death.



John 7:38-39

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.


They had no way to know the Old Covenant had just ended. HOW COULD THEY? There was no NT written until after Pentecost. The baptism of the Holy Spirit never happened until Pentecost. The Church age life could not begin until Jesus was ascended and glorified.

Jesus was circumcised on his eighth day. He went to Hebrew school like all Jewish boys. He was also called "rabbi" by his followers. Jesus was a Jew. All the apostles were Jews! With the exception of Luke, all the writers of the Bible were Jews.

You want to look stupid? Even Gentile Bible scholars will agree with me.

If you want to understand many details in the Gospels its a must to study Jewish culture.

What do you think the Last Supper was? Do you know?

Silly Rabbit, tricks are for kids.

remember, God set the day not the jews!



Genesis 1:13(NKJV)
13So the evening and the morning were the third day.

Jesus obviously understood this!



I ask you? The way God laid it down, was written in what? The Law of Moses. A Jew.

The Law of Moses... the books God gave to the Jews.

Those Jews took God's Word and made it into their way of life. Wake up. You're looking really bad at this point.

And, why did you only quote Genesis 1:13 to make your point about 24 hour days? You are really revealing a lack on concentration. Look what you missed completely. It was right there in front of you.
Genesis 1:3


And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Jesus specifically said that he would be three DAYS and three NIGHTS in the earth. He did not simply say, three DAYS as you make it to be. He was being specific.

God called the light
“day,”
and the darkness he called “night.”


Matthew 12:40

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so

the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.



Jesus spoke specifically of days and nights. Meaning a time of light and a time of darkness... Not 24 hour days.



God called the light“day,” and the darkness he called “night.”

Darkness = night.

Light = day. Its God's Word also!

if insulting me gives you points, then you can rack up all you like, it's fine with me.



but just like all of your facts, you still get stuff wrong and count it as fact or at least spin it your way.

for instance, paul was not a jew, he was of the tribe of benjamin, so he was, in fact, a benjamite counted among the jews.

and moses wrote the first five books of the bible and he was not a jew, he was of the tribe of levi. so, moses was a levite! (see? even stupid people know facts you don't! )



thank you though for the lesson on Jesus being a jew, to what end i don't know.


nevertheless, our back and forth earlier speaks for itself.

you laid out your say and i countered with mine, they are what they are!



you clearly believe the jews over what Messiah said, you said so yourself!

So you want technical. Being I've been here awhile it seems you only want it when it favors you.

We speak of all Israelites these days collectively as Jews.

i understand that, didn't you see my post? i said paul was a benjamite, counted among the jews.

i know from the split of the nation who went with judah and who went with the northern ten of israel.

i had to split hairs in this case, because this guy is trying to hammer me! (heck, i even threw in the moses bit)

But my point is the risen Jesus does.

None of the New Testament was written till well after Pentecost.

Rabbit... I used to stand up from my chair in synagogue and announce myself to the congregation as Y'dil ben Meyir. Then I would approach the reading of the Torah up front.

I have heard your line of reasoning before. You have taken the tribes and have made them into different races. All the Tribes are of one race. All are from the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. To any Jew alive today you would sound like Gentile who thinks he knows something when he knows nothing. The tribe of Judah were not the only Jews. Its like saying people from New Jersey are not Americans, but New Jersey-ites.

There was a double use for the word Jew. Tell your theory to a Jew, and he will run fast and far from Christ. Its a horrible witness, and you have been suckered into it. The last alleged Christian folks I heard that from turned out to be Jew haters. Its a bad place to be.

you get no argument from me, because what i stated are facts that can't be disputed!

for instance, you're going to tell me that paul was not born a benjamite?



it's neither here nor there, but you went there and i was just holding my own with facts.

bottom line is none of this has anything to do with our back and forth earlier.

that had to do with you believing the jews over the Christ, period!
